Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Verbal reasoning about abstract concepts is a cognitive ability that typically develops during adolescence. This enables them to think about and understand abstract concepts such as justice and freedom. While moral code, idealism, egocentric decision-making, and ability to delay gratification are also important aspects of adolescent development, they are not as closely tied to the ability to ponder abstract concepts.
